[TR] A type overdrive solenoid problem?

[tr3abobm77 at frontier.com]

If wired normally, the gearbox switches only operate a relay which in turn
operates the solenoid. Do you hear the relay operate when you turn the switch
on and off? You could also try 2nd gear.

stumped. How can both solenoids work in one situation and not the
